KANSAS CROPS IN 1887.

KANSAS CROPS in 1887.
There are corn fields in Kansas thai
will yield 100 bushels per aero, and
Others that will yield 10 bushels. The
corn crop of Kansas, this year, is
''streaked" SO to speak. 1t depends
on where the local rains have happen.
ed to hit during the past three weeks.
Previous to that time all the corn
planted promised an unusually large
yield. 1t was never in better condi-
ton. But during the past three
weeks the weather has been intensely
hot the rains have been local, and in
some fields the chinch bugs have been
very destructive. The result is that
some counties there will be big crop;
in others a fair average crop; in 9TH
ers, very poor crop. In some sec
tions these differences exist in the
same county, and even in the same
township good and poor fields of corn
growing not mile apart,
The rains of the past ten days have
been like all others that have fallen
this year, local. They have done
great good to the corn in many Sec
tions; in others they came to late to
insure full crop; and few sections
have had no rain.
Everything considered. northeastern
Kansas has Jared as well as, if not bet
ter than any other portion of the
state. The counties of northeastern
Kansas have harvested good crops of
wheat and oats, and very fine flax
crop, and the prospect is now excel
lent for good average corn crop.
The extreme western counties-the
newly organized counties-have had
timely and abundant rains, and
will produce good crops this year.
In what is called the "wneat belt"
of the state-its central pOrtion-the
wheat crop, generally speaking, was
failure In a few counties and Sec
tions of counties in this belt however,
the crop was fair.
The flax crop was almost universal
ly good, in all sections.
The oat crop was large in some Sec
tions, fairin others, and complete
failure in others.
Summing up the crop yields of 1887
in Kansas, may be said to be a fair
average. 1t has not been a big crop
year nor year of failure. The areas
planted, especially 10 corn were large
ly increased, and if the late corn ma
lures well, the product will in the ag-
gregate be far larger than that of last
year,-AtchisOn Champion.

She came and went, as comes and goes
The dewdrop on the morning rose,
Or as the tender lights that die
At shut of day along the sky.
Tier coming made the dawn more bright
Her going brought the sombre night;
Her coming made the blossoms shine,
Her going made them droop and pine.
Where'er her twinkling feet did pass,
Beneath them greener grew the grass
The song birds ruflled their small throats
To swell for her their blithest notes.
But when she went, the blushlng day
Sank into silence chill and gray,
The dark It's sable vans unfurled,
And sudden night possessed the world.
D fond desires that wake in vain
Che meier viii come 10 us again;
And now, like vanished perfume sweet,
Her memory grows more vague and feet
Yet we rejoice that morn by morn
The sad old world seems lcss forlorn,
since once no bright a vision came
To touch our eyes with heavenly flame
Add show 10 our bewildered eyes
What beauty dwells in paradise.

A SMASH-UP.
A Freight Train Breaks Loose AT
Pasadena.

An accident occurred at Pasadena
yesterday afternoon which, for the
time, create considerable excitement
in the railroad yards there. A freight
train from San Bernardino, in charge
OF Conductor Werts and Engineer
Parsons, was detailed to switch some
empty lumber cars on to the main
track and pick them up. The train
was accordingly backed up the grade
beyond the swith, where the brakes
were put on, and the engine went
down into the yard after the empties.
A few minutes later the cars which
had been left on the hill were
seen to be moving, and though an at
tempt was made to stop them it was
found that the air-l rakes would not
work. Descending h, grade the cars
increased in velocity, and by the time
they had reached the yard were NOV
ing at the rate of thirty miles an
hour. They crashed into three fiat
cars and box-car, which were stand
ing on the track, piling them up in all
directions, and creating a scene OF
general confusion. Luckily no one
was injured, and there was no serious
result beyond the temporary incon'
venience to the track and the damage
to rolling stock.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION
of u Sixteen-Year-Old BOY Named
Frank BuZette.

Frank Buzette, a boy about 16 years
oil age, son Of DIR. Buzette, 254 South
Hill street, was shot last evening
about 3 O'Clock by some william pro-
ba bly, for money. Frank has been at
work for f. Levy, cigar manufact-
urer at No. AZ North Main street. Mr..
Levy has been at San Francisco for
, some time aud has trusted Frank &c
carry the money h"me with him,
which is usually about $40. He also
carries very gooa g5ld watch. Since
Frank has been carry ing the money
home he has asked a boy by the name
of George Bush, who is anight switch
man in the Santa Fe Yard to accom-
pany him home, but usually stops at
the store before going to work. As
they were crossing the vacant lot back
of the Fort street NJ. e. Church they
saw something on the ground which
they thought was silver
coin. Both stopped to pick
it up. Bush was ahead OF Blu
zette and they noticed man behind
then. who had followed them a short
distance. They stepped to one side to
let him pass, and saw him put his
hand behind and draw out revolver,
Immediately firing at Buzette. The
ball entered just back OF the right ear
following along the jaw bones and
coming out on the cheek bone close to
the eye. Whether scared by some
thing or not the william started and ran
back. At first the boy did not think
he was shot but soon began to feel
blood drop and his face began to pain
him. Then he realized he was shot,
and started on run for home ac-
companied by Bush. Both boys were
powder burned. DR.. Boal was sum
moned, and arrived at the house
just ahead of HERALD reporter
The Doctor does not apprehend much
danger, but said that if the ball had
entered to the left undoubtedly it
would have killed him. Mr. Buzette
is new conner here and the boy says
he has no enemies and does not know
any boys except Geo. Bush. A po-
lice officer was soon on the spot to get
the descriptions of the attempted as
sassin which are very indefinite. He
wore a white cooked hat, about 5 feet
and 10 inches tall, ordinary build.
Up to late hour last night he had
not been CAPTURED.

INVESTORS READ THIS.

A week or two ago there came to
Anaheim ten families, seeking houses
to rent, while they could buy a lot and
build for themselves. There was not
one cottage even to divide with the
ten families. There is not store to
be had to open new business. There
is demand for houses and stores.
Anaheim has two amusement halls,
but she needs fine opera house. The
citizens are contemplating the erection
of one. ANY person who will build a
house in Anaheim will rent it at a
good per centage on its cost the day it is
built. He who will put up store will
find tenant as quickly. His money
will be invested we'll or all time to
come. There is room for great ex'
pansion, the growth has begun and il
will continue.
